My feelings exactly. They're pointing out that the BBC isn't encrypted. That's because the task of the BBC is to disseminate news in the most easily-accessible format (radio, TV, the web), not to protect nuclear weapons launch codes. And then there are the bazillion web sites that aren't mentioned, knitting patterns, cat pictures, gardening advice, cake recipes, that need exactly zero encryption but that are now being held ransom to some braindead agenda that someone at Google has.
I've never fallen for a phishing email with or without 2fa.
If Google's getting kudos after a year, I want a goddamned payout.
Cause that's the same thing as a company with 85,000 employees.
Google controls the employees, the environment they operate in, and the servers they connect to. Given that level of control, if their IT can't prevent phishing then they're pretty incompetent.
Gmail already requires that you Google how to do certain basic operations that are a single mouse click away on most mailers (right-click on the flat coloured area at the top right, then choose X, then click on the bottom part of the coloured region in the dialog, then hold down Alt + Ctrl and click on the thin line at the left, and hey presto, you've found Reply All). By making it even less intuitive, they're increasing the use of their search engine, which means more advertising revenue for them. Simple.
You'd think people would have become wary of the stuff since it was sold as Pervitin eighty years ago. Back then the Panzerschokolade was regarded as a miracle drug as well, until the side-effects started to show up...
To get an idea of just how big a pile of BS this story is, the Donskoi was a pre-dreadnaught armoured cruiser, with one tenth the displacement of an actual battleship (Iowa class), and less than a modern (Arleigh Burke) destroyer. The amount of gold in Fort Knox is about the same order of magnitude as what's claimed in the story (depending on how much you believe is in there and what it's currently worth per ounce and what the story is actually claming was on the Donskoi, handwaving a bit here to avoid a huge long debate and calling it "same order of magnitude").
So we have to believe that Imperial Russia loaded a Fort Knox' worth of gold that they didn't have into a (modern) destroyer-class ship, equipped it with early Tardis technology to handle the volume and mass involved, and sent it to the other side of the world, only to scuttle it when Japanese ships came near.
Someone's running a significant salvage scam here...
It's worked for many businesses throughout history. There have also been slavery, child labor, embezzlement, and genocide. Whether these have been effective for a business in the long term
The UK, US, France, Spain, etc are all still around, so it seems to have worked in the long term to some degree.
Argh, posted too early: Dahua is the second largest manufacturer of security cameras in the world (top is Hikvision). That's what I meant when I said your expensive "Made in USA" system will most likely be "Chinese crap" (as you put it, not me) under the hood.
Dahua actually make pretty top-shelf gear. They also OEM for half the high-end video camera systems out there, so the "Made in USA" system you'll end up buying in place of your "Chinese crap" at five times the price could well be a Dahua under the hood. Or, more likely something far worse than Dahua.
In addition:
The vulnerability has been known since 2013 and has been since patched, but many Dahua device owners have failed to update their equipment, and even to this day have continued to deploy DVRs running the antiquated firmware online.
While technically correct, this is rather misleading. Dahua don't sell to or deal with end users, so the device owners have nothing to do with the problem, it'll either have been set up by a Dahua-approved vendor or be under a completely different name as an OEM, one who lasted update their firmware in 2010.
I bet the first Cave Art was probably of naked women. but it was erased by someone's mother.
What do you think all those "venus figurines" are? It's all just wank material, stone-age copies of Penthouse to enjoy in private at the back of the cave.
99% of users? I am on the latest chrome and it was disabled for me. Check at chrome://flags/#enable-site-per-process
I've tried this with my copy of Chrome and it reports: "Firefox error: The address isnâ(TM)t valid". I'm running Chrome version.... um, 61 "Quantum". Maybe that's the problem, I need to wait for Mozilla to release version 67?
They're also insanely painful to use. If you've got 1,000 devs shipping updates for drivers and firmware on 800 different devices then the absolutely last thing you want to do is have them fight over a single painful-to-work-with HSM.
Not affecting mine either. I got it from an Apple store in China. Must have been some pre-release thing because it was before Apple even announced they had stores in China. Also, there are Google apps on my iPhone, and when it boots there's an Android logo. Not sure how that works, probably another special Apple thing just for China. As was the price, just RMB 800.
I don't see what the problem is here. She clearly breached Paypal's rules by up and dying without their permission. They should prosecute her to the full extent provided by law to make sure she doesn't go and do it again.
Actually you need about a million qubits to attack a 1kbit public key, one of the things that quantum computers have been (over)hyped for. So announcing an imminent quantum computer now that you can get to eighteen qubits is like announcing interstellar travel because you can lift a load two inches off the ground.
OK, you, out! All Windows users should be bent over and ready to take that 3.5" floppy up their One Microsoft Way! Satya knows what's best for you, even if you don't, and whatever's dreamed up this week by the hipsters doing human experimentation on Windows 10 users is what's good for you. Until the following week, when a different hipster decides what's good for you.
The thing is, in a very hot climate, wearing insulating clothes will make you feel hot.
You would need to undress a bit, which might not be practical in every situation.
What about using a combination of AI and spectrum analysis?
What about not not using "simplified recycling"? They introduced that braindamage over here a year or so back despite there being exactly zero evidence that people had problems distinguishing the three categories of plastic, paper, and everything else (glass, metal, etc). As a result, the unified recycling bins are now used as general trash bins because there's no need for people to think about what's recyclable and what isn't.
So the solution to a problem created by going with a really dumb idea isn't to throw tech at it, it's to undo the dumb idea.
That was my feeling too, I mean a Pentium III? That'd be roughly a 20-year-old machine, contemporaneous with Windows 98 and Windows 2000 and for very late models, XP. Who's even running Windows 7 on a PIII?
Also, with Chromefox you've got a choice between an up to date browser or a browser where your extensions still work. If you want an up to date browser where your extensions don't work you may as well switch to the real Chrome, not a crappy, buggy clone of it. So your options are an old copy of Chromefox with working extensions or actual Chrome.

My thoughts exactly. Asking Ed Ass to comment on Microsoft is like asking Giuliani to comment on Trump.
Even if 1 mile equals 1,6 kms, 322 kilometers is still a long way
It's not really that far, just a bit further than the distance from Berlin to Warsaw. Most Germans could do that in one tank.

No more slow CPU, no more extra RAM used, no more OS software to protect from CPU security flaws.
Pick any two. Which do you want?

van Rossum is Dutch, and they spell it as "verachten".
Yeah, of course, the Dutch would say "verachchchchchten", and not something more hygienic like "gardziÄ".
